360 Degree Hinge on FW13 Pro

Hi,

Now that FW has a touchscreen on the 13P would they consider doing a 360 degree hinge for it similar to how it is on the 12? I also was thinking if it would be possible to get hinge specific detailed CAD, so someone might be able to design one (could be me) to get machined at a [insert on demand Chinese manufacturer here] and make it as a community project? I would assume that the display would have to be further from the chassis as a result because I think it currently hits the side (if anyone who has theirs could include a picture) but it might be possible.

Thanks!

I’d certainly love a fold-back screen in a 13 Pro. However the 12 is stylus-compatible and the 13 Pro is not - the 13 Pro is just for finger-painting and icon/window control.

My ideal use-case would be to have a battery-powered stylus for accurate pressure-sensitive sketching, and unfortunately the new touchscreen doesn’t allow for that.

You can always use a dumb stylus. Still the reason I was asking was more for note taking and things like math where you usually want to write down formulas and equations.

Is the effective input resolution sufficient for handwriting? I haven’t tried that yet on my new unit. I’d certainly be in favour!

Yea im still waiting for mine want to see if anyone else has theirs and can try this.

Ah, I regard mine as too expensive to experiment on. :grinning_face: :money_with_wings:
